SUR PLACE | Exhibition on Urban Bike Culture

This summer Mediamatic organizes Sur Place, an exhibition about fixed gear subculture that will run from May 8th to August 22nd.

The Sur Place exhibition offers insight into the fast growing urban subculture but also pays hommage to the origins of fixed gears. The opening on the 8th of May coincides with the start of the Giro d’Italia in Amsterdam.

The exhibition is staged as a big indoor track. In addition to a collection of rare fixed gear bikes, there are objects, movies, documentaries and multimedia installations portraying the passion and sense of freedom shared by riders. Visitors can bike through the exhibition space, compete in a roller racing and build their own fixed bikes in do-it-yourself workshops. We offer the Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) the opening weekend and a continuation of workshops and salons throughout the exhibitions duration.

Opening hours
Sur Place is open from May 8th to August 22nd, 2010, at Mediamatic Bank, Vijzelstraat 68 in Amsterdam. Opening hours Mo - Fri 13.00 - 19.00, Sa - Su 13.00 - 18.00.
